The team at JCM have just landed this one owner Arvor 215 fiberglass centre cabin shaft drive turbo diesel fishing package. The Arvor boats have carved a niche in the boating industry since their landing on the Australian waterways back in 1999 offering fisherman a practical, no-nonsense fishing platform.

As the photos demonstrate this rig has been extensively optioned over a standard vessel with a long list of quality inclusions as outlined in detail further in.

About the Boat

The Arvor 215 is a semi - displacement hull equally at home at displacement speeds for a slow cruise or when trolling offshore for pelagics, or if the conditions allow, can cruise comfortably at a top speed shy of 20knots. The Arvor has a fine entry for slicing the waves, yet below the waterline a small keel and full skeg aft (0.75m draft), provides protection if grounding occurs and a generous beam of 2.54 offers excellent stability at rest.

The A215 is powered by a 115Hp shaft drive Mercury Quantum Series QSD turbo charged diesel inboard that has a recorded 324 hours since new. The motor is neatly installed mid ships aiding in providing class leading centre of gravity that enhances stability and trim. The motor spins a 4 blade bronze propeller protected by the rudder stock. Hydraulic steering assists in making those long hauls offshore a pleasure to steer and if in the event of a steering failure an emergency tiller handle is included.

The engine also features a trolling valve which is unique to hydraulic gearboxes allowing you to "lower" speed at idle RPM, idle when holding over a bommie in strong current. The engine runs a heat exchanger aiding engine cooling system and reducing corrosion as the block isn't saltwater cooled. The onboard diesel capacity is approx. 95l with consumption circa 10 l an hour at a cruise speed of 15 knots, range and frugal consumption is the diesel bonus!

The A215 has a unique appeal to those that love the Euro look of a traditional wheelhouse boat. In Qld ventilation is a must on those hot balmy days, the wheelhouse has a large over head hatch and two side opening hatches on the port and starboard windows along with a quality cabin fan. The wheelhouse can be secured and locked with cabin sliding door.

In the cabin, its light and airy, provides excellent visibility for the skipper with the large windows. Access to the bow is simple via ether the port or starboard walk around and well placed grab rails assist with providing safe passage. The bow is fitted with an electric anchor winch, something we all desire on boats to make this a simple and back saving chore.

A large V Berth is cushioned and offers a place to bed for the night between bites and there is room to add a chemical toilet. Storage abounds under the cushions and in neatly moulded side pockets. The helm is comfortable with two folding helm seats installed and set off with a polished timber steering wheel. At the helm all your needs are well set out and neatly fitted with engine instrumentation, engine controls, a quality large colour screen combo GPS/Sounder (with side imaging through hull transducer installed). Overhead a GME GX600D VHF radio and for those that like their tunes when out on the briny a GME GD9600 stereo is neatly fitted and two speakers.

A complement of safety gear is included which again is outlined further including a EPIRB and an over head search/spot light that is roof mounted. The cockpit is huge for a 6.4m hull, and with the swim platform some 6.8m in length. There is underfloor storage as photographed for the seldom used gear and assisting in keeping the decks clear.

For the angler the transom is well set up with a salt water deck wash, fully draining deck via scuppers, walk through transom and slide out door plus a huge plumbed live bait tank and we love the viewing window (The grandkids will love this)..... Bait prep table and a number of well-placed rod holders. Over head a beautifully crafted custom made stainless steel frame with full covers have been made to offer reprieve from the sun and weather. When moored these covers offer excellent all weather protection and we love the little touched with over head rod storage hooks fitted - nice practical touch!

If you are looking to moor this A215, she is all set up for this, just a case of moving from her current location. Costs associated with translocation will be borne by purchaser. If you have an interest in trailering, please talk this over as we are agents for Dunbier Trailers and assist in providing a quote and advice on towing over width boats in Qld.

This package offers excellent value at under $68,000 buying a quality and established brand, backed with all the advantages of buying through Qlds Used Boat Specialists as further outlined below.

Further, engines are supplied with a BIA Used Recreational Motor Boat warranty (Unless advertised otherwise). We guarantee title as JCM supplies PPSR certificates (known as REVS) providing our buyers confidence and security.
